Thanks for the very detailed responses! I didn't realise you could partition the hard drive to run different Operating Systems on the older computers. I will Google Lilo and find out what it's all about. L.

[Freedos-user] Linux on FreeDos or vice versa?
Is it possible to install Linux on FreeDos or vice versa? More importantly could I do it on my machine? COMPAQ LTE Lite 4/25C PROCESSOR TYPE: 80486 PROCESSOR SPEED: 25 mhz COPROCESSOR TYPE: 80487 BUS TYPE: ISA BUS SPEED: 25 mhz MEMORY INFORMATION BASE MEMORY: 640k EXTENDED MEMORY: 11520k EXPANDED MEMORY: 0k VIDEO INFORMATION VIDEO BIOS: IBM VIDEO MEMORY: 256k VIDEO MAXIMUM MODE: VGA Adapter DISPLAY: Color Analog If it is possible to do both ways. Which would be easier? I checked out some minimalist distro listings, here's one example... GNU Brutalware Linux Website: http://hysteria.sk/brutalware/ Category: Minimalist Description: Floppy-based Linux distribution. It is designed to boot from 3 floppies on any MSDOS/Windows machine. ... But I was wondering if anyone had done it and which distro they used. Cheers, Leke.

Hei Gregory, Would it be possible for you to send me your copies of autoexec.bat and config.sys. Maybe you could paste them onto this thread. Thanks, Leke.

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS beta9 release candidate 5.
Thanks for creating FreeDos! Q1: Is the fdos1440.img the only thing I need to install FD, or is it just the boot disk? I got as far as partitioning the C: drive then at the cd-rom install error screen I hit option 2 to install from diskettes and it gave me Drive is FAT12. Bad command or file name - disk2.bat Bad command or file name - ERRORLEVELS (etc ) I checked fdisk again and it confirmed that it was a FAT32. Heres my system info if its any help.
